The entrance to Expo 2000.

Armenian Pavillion - modest and meaningful, in contrast
with Monaco [below, right] where wealth was being shamelessly flaunted.

Turkey -

Historical wealth and fame.

Venezuela - charming with a mechanical bloom that opened and closed the roof
at certain intervals.

France, Ireland and Hungary

And last but not least ... where the US
Pavillion was planned to be, stood a Ferris Wheel and a McDonald!
No appropriations of funds by the US Congress. This irony paved the way to
many jokes at our expense and at which we had to smile and endure.
